As long as FB and the other big players serve ANY information to ANY government on this planet there will NEVER be a regulatory intervention. With the current setup the price of the State is that they commonly violate the privacy that the users have volunteered by using such servicss.

The moment FB stops collecting it will be the moment that FB stops handing in our info to govs. Govs are somehow in this loop.

I suspect we are on the cusp of a next generation of snooping social networks, and that FB will be sunsetted to make way for more sophisticated signals intelligence gathering platforms.
